[Aroid-l] amorph gigas/ goetzei

From: crogers at ecoanalysts.com (D. Christopher Rogers) on 2007.09.12 at 15:51:23(16267) Hiyer! Yes, Susan, I will be happy to help if I can. Please talk to me off list unless this spider is pertinent to aroids. To all: Many folks contacted me off list for invertebrate identifications. I am happy to do so as I have time. The folks on this list have given generously to me of their knowledge and collections, and I want to give back as I can. Unless the insect, spider, crustacean, worm or whatever is pertinent to aroids in some way, I would ask that any one who needs my assistance please contact me off list. I am happy to identify invertebrates for any of you. I work with all invertebrates, that is anything spineless (except some politicians and lawyers). My expertise in the crustaceans, the beetles and aquatic insects, but I can probably help with most stuff or know who can. Remember there are limits to what can be done. Some things can be identified via a good photo, other will need to be preserved and examined via a microscope. Happy days, Christopher +More D.

I've grown that one before but it was years ago that it flowered. I guess I was hoping this was goetzei, since it wasn't the gigas that I thought I had. I'll have to razz Tom if he's at the show about him sending me the wrong form of gigas! and I didn't keep the scarab beetle. Don >From: "D.
